Every time I try to install FEAR (on Win2k) it refuses to install unless I agree to install to the years-old version of DirectX9 included on the CD. I'm obviously reluctant to let it write over my up-to-date installation. Official tech support never got back to me. Does anyone here have any ideas?
Well, you could try install the game and installing latest Direct-X afterwards.
Intel i7 5960X
Gigabye GA-X99-Gaming 5
8 GB DDR4 (2100)
8 GB GeForce GTX 1070 G1 Gaming (Gigabyte)
Aren't all the versions of DirectX 9 smart enough not to overwrite newer versions of the DirectX 9 files if you try to install it?
And besides, aren't the only changes that have been made to DirectX 9 over the years just security patches?
Let it install, it doesn't overwrite and works fine.
